According to Sal Contreras, Sales/Marketing Manager for Mike Rose’s Auto Body, Inc., “Each year the collision repair industry as a whole comes across cars that are “written off” by either the owner or the insurance company. Often times these are older vehicles that just need some mechanical and body work to get them back on the road and perfectly safe to drive. Because we believe these cars are going to waste when there are people who really need them, we decided to do something about it.” Mike Rose’s Auto Body, Inc. has joined with other members of the Acoat selected organization to form the Acoat Selected National Benevolence Program. The Benevolence Program is a community relations program who’s mission is to “Present refurbished “new” used cars to deserving individuals or organizations during the holiday season.” |

| “We feel very fortunate to be involved with such a wonderful program and are very excited to be able to give back to the community that has supported us for the past 35 years. Being in this business for that long, repairing the vehicles is the easy part, having to decide on a recipient is the part that’s hard. After receiving hundreds of applications over the years and reading the heart breaking stories, we only wish that we could do more. But hopefully with increased publicity of the Benevolence Program other shops will adopt a similar program of their own.” – Mike Rose |
| Mike Rose’s Auto Body, Inc. is just one of the Acoat Selected shops in the country that will present vehicles in December. This will be Mike Rose’s Eighth year participating in the program “It has been so rewarding over the last seven years presenting the cars to those who are working to improve their skills and become independent.” What is so unique about this program is that it is not just an effort made by Mike’s Auto Body employees, it is truly an effort made by the community. Everything done to the cars is donated, parts, paint, mechanical inspections, tires, and 6 months insurance. In addition, the Body and Paint technicians donate their time and talents. It becomes a real community effort to put these vehicles together |
